Err.....

telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points.

Not "likely or registered voters".  I'd give this one a solid "D" on the credibility scale.

But Doc, I would go so far as to opine that adults tend to be less informed than registered or likely voters, and as such more likely to believe Teh Wun's crap via Perky Katie.

IOW, if this were likely voters, the decline might be even WORSE.
